My transition from scientist to entrepreneur? Some would say that I still haven't made that transition.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always had this desire to be an entrepreneur, except I felt I didn't really know what I was doing.
Past success is no guarantee of future success, so I have learned to be an entrepreneur. I began to produce and direct my own projects.
I've had a very unusual background in science - not the usual route of planning on being a scientist from age 3. I think my story shows that success is more about personal motivation and determination than it is about where you were born or what your economic status was.
Life is like the monkey bars: you have to let go to move forward. Once you make the decision to leap into entrepreneurship, be sure to loosen your grasp on old concepts so you can swing your way to new ones.
When I was coming up as an entrepreneur, I had to fight for everything I got, and there was no clear roadmap of how to be successful.
My career has been a bit strange. I don't think it took the normal route.
I've been doing a hybrid of investing and entrepreneurship, which I think initially I wasn't set out to do. But I realized it fit my personality.
I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I started my own software company in high school and went to college to study entrepreneurship.
And so I'm still giving some thought - I will transition hopefully into the corporate world. And I look forward to getting involved in several other areas that I have a great interest in.
I've always been an entrepreneur. I start businesses for a living.
